Under the direction of Dr. Steven A. Sader, the Maine Image Analysis Lab has had a strong reputation for excellence in teaching and research in the field of remote sensing. The Lab has served to train numerous graduate and undergraduate students in the use of remote sensing for mapping and monitoring natural resources. A recent history of graduate thesis work has included:
2005 Kenton Williams, M.S. Digital Vertical Aerial Camera System for High-Resolution Site Inspection in Conservation Easement Monitoring
2005 Suming Jin, Ph.D. Multi-Temporal and Multi-Sensor Monitoring of Forest Disturbance
2004 Silvia Cordero-Sancho, M.S. Landsat Spectral Analysis, Waveband Selection and Classification Accuracy Assessment of Coffee Plantations in Central America
2004 Jacob Metzler, M.S. Use of multi-temporal IKONOS and Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery to determine forest stand conditions in northern Maine.
2003 Sean Murphy, Ph.D. Development and Assessment of a Spatial Decision Support System for Conservation Planning.
